Redfish can be found around docks and sitting on the flats on warm, sunny days. D.O.A. shrimp, Terror Eyz or CAL jerk baits work great for wintertime fishing. We had fantastic results around mangroves for redfish last year. CAL paddle tails in the 411 color were a hit with the reds. Docks will be loaded be loaded with sheepshead this month, with nice sized fish.Capt. Charlie ConnerDec 30th, 2014

Not all of us own a fishing boat, but we still enjoy the sport of angling. Boat owners will tell you there’s more to owning a boat than meets the eye. A day out on a fishing boat takes planning, lots of preparation, knowing the channel markers, ramps, and some degree of basic engine maintenance. Land anglers may not be quite as mobile and flexible as boat owners on the water, but there are many options open to the land-based angler.Guest ColumnistDec 26th, 2014

Never underestimate the importance of fishing gadgets. These are things that can make fishing a lot easier, provided we don't overlook them. On a recent trip with my son, I noticed that he was getting hooked-up, but was not. My deduction was that I had a dull hook that was not penetrating the fish’s mouth. Luckily, I had a hook sharpener and after honing the hook, it appeared to increase success in landing fish.Dr. Andrew CoxDec 1st, 2014

While finding fish is a very important part of catching, it's only a portion of successful fishing. Other factors like reading the water, understanding fish habits, making your cast count and being prepared can often be equally important to catching more fish.Capt. Rodney SmithNov 30th, 2014

It’s that time of year again! The weather is cooling, snook season is ending and the holidays are fast approaching.

Jacks are everywhere and can be caught in river or beach fishing. These hard pulling fish put up a battle to the end. If you want to catch a big one, fish the beaches or inlets where the big guys pick off baits along the way. A good choice are lures poppers—they love sound and something looking like it is getting away. Look for pompano guys after a nice cold front; they will be on the beaches. I like to catch them near a beach that has structure, such as Walton Rocks, Bath Tub Beach, House of Refuge and always Hobe Sound Beach.Capt. Chris SharpNov 29th, 2014
